Ma Bao Male", also known as "Ma Bao", according to the interpretation on the Internet, "is a man who listens to his parents in everything, thinks that his parents are right, and takes his parents as the center of everything." ”
No matter how old you are, everything is inseparable from your family, you must seek the opinions of your family in everything, and you must ask your parents to come out and speak up for yourself at the critical time.
Such men are often perceived as immature, lacking their own opinions, and even when married, it is difficult to assume the role of husband in the family.
"Ma Bao Male" has a perfect corresponding title in English, that is, mama's boy, also called mummy's boy or mother's boy. Wikipedia describes Ma Bao Man like this:
A mother’s boy, also mummy’s boy or mama’s boy, is a man who is excessively attached to his mother at an age when men are expected to be independent (e.g. live on their own, be economically independent, married to a woman or about to be married).
Wikipedia believes that the mama man may be either feminine or effeminate or macho; he may have some kind of personality disorder, such as avoidant personality disorder, thus taking on the role of caretaker.
Others see it as a mental illness, calling it "Mama's Boy" Syndrome.
Psychologically, people jokingly refer to this behavior as "Peter Pan Syndrome."
The medical dictionary defines Peter Pan Syndrome as follows:
A fanciful term for a state of unconscious postponement of maturity, characterised by magical thinking, narcissism and chauvinism.
An unconscious state of delayed maturity characterized by fantasy thinking, self-obsession, and machismo.
The opposite of Peter Pan Syndrome is "Wendy Dilemma"
The medical dictionary defines Wendy Dilemma as follows:
A marital conundrum in which a wife is trapped into acting as her husband’s surrogate mother, with the knowledge that it reinforces his immature behavior.
A dilemma of marital status in which the wife has to act as the mother of her husband, although she knows that doing so will exacerbate her husband's immaturity.
